However as a result Bochs runs on Solaris, IRIX, and most likely other non-x86 archs & OSes as well. Ofcourse it is slower than VMware which doesn’t do that. If you want to test portability of your Linux/PowerPC application on Linux/Alpha for example thats possible with QEMU. But you can also do much more with it, things you can’t even _do_ with VMware. With QEMU you emulate a whole processor ofcourse that costs more resources. “BTW what are the many choices other than QEMU, Bochs, VirtualPC?”ĭepends on what you want to do. Doesn’t say anything about wether the software is worth the price because once again warez blurs any argument based on statistics to proof some ‘price vs quality’ premise.
I’ve seen no statistics which back up what you say and even if these existed it says more about popularity. “That is why a developer would choose over the so many choices.”ĭevelopers do just as well chose WINE, Winelib, Cygwin, Bochs, or plain native. This benchmark makes me believing VMware doesn’t scale at all: Proof? You must have analyzed all the other alternatives.
